Signs Of Spring

Good Morning!

I am feeling like a very bad blogger this morning.  The realization that I haven't posted a single thing in over a week and half hit me this morning. I knew it had been a while, but I seriously didn't think it was that long.

Helping out my sister, dealing with sick kids, and the start of spring after school activities had seriously impacted my blogging time. 

I back now . . .  I promise.

I'm feeling energized and ready to tackle some projects.

This past weekend spring arrived in my neck of the woods.  The snow banks are shrinking, the air is warmish and fresh smelling and the birds are starting to come back.  I'm not foolish enough to believe that old man winter has completely vanished - - it is March after all, we sometimes get some big snowfalls during the month of march - -  but for now I'm enjoying the spring-like weather.  Shelby and I have a nice long walk planned for this afternoon.  Our first together since she's joined the family that we won't have to battle bitter cold wind and frozen paws.  I'm really looking forward to it.

In celebration of today's spring-like weather I started to redecorate my hutch this morning for spring.

I really don't have a plan yet for the hutch other then I want to add pretty pops of color in pale blue to the mix of white that I have.

I rediscovered this vintage book on North American birds today while I was going through my stash of vintage books looking for blue or green ones.

I thought it would be fun to prop it open to display some of the pretty colored birds illustrations.

The book goes rather nicely with this bird figure I picked up Friday at the thrift store.  Isn't she sweet?

The hutch re-decorating is going off to a great start I think. 

 Hopefully I'll have the whole thing finished later today so I can show you more.

bye now,

Robin
